EARLY HISTORY OF MARE
ISLAND
Mare Island Navy Yard is situa
ted on an island forming the easterly
boundry of San Pablo Bay, ( an arm
of San Francisco Bay), and is twenty­five
miles distant from the Golden
Gate and the City of San Francisco.
Mare Island is separated from the
main land of Solano County by Napa
River and Mare Island Straight, which
opens into Carquinez Straight at its
junction with San Pablo Bay. On the
mainland directly across the Straights
from the Nav~' Yard lies the city of
Vallejo, California.
